Hey guys
when I go to start the bike it turns over then it seems like for 1/2 second everything stops then she fires right up. I am wondering if it can be the battery I have the original type that you have to fill, maybe not enough juice even thought always kept at 100 percent charged Or the starter going ?
any thoughts

 

Had the same symptoms you are describing so I read the deaded click sticky and followed through with it. Your battery is old by the sounds of it so I would put a new one as I also did. What happened at that point is my starter had the same lackluster performance like yours is doing and it started smoking so I put in a new one. Problem over.

 

Thanks NewHarleylover

So I guess the new battery really didn't help as you had to add a new starter?
